I have two options: PCS to Fort Hood from Bragg or ETS in 5 months and go to college. Is mechanized any better?

I guess the big question is "What do you want from life?" What is your long term goal? How many years you got in? If you're around the 10yr point, don't waste them. At minimum go into the Reserve - at age 60 you will be glad you did(I am).
You want to get another career - do it. Make it something you like and want. You might also keep in mind something like a Vo-Tec college.
Before you make that decision, look ahead and make that long term goal, short term goal - think ahead. Don't do a knee jerk because you're pissed or something like that. Remember you only got one life, so enjoy it.

Very well said SGM Dawson. I would vote up your comment but I'm all out for the day.

You could have some of each. After 4 years on AD as an Infantryman, I ETSd, went college on the GI Bill, and joined the National Guard. The Guard was happy to have a prior service E5. I earned a teaching degree and taught high school. I stayed in the Guard for years. Transferred to the Army Reserve when I learned they needed a recruiter. Recruited for 3 years and retired at E7. You can have both.

I select Option C. PCS to Hood and take all the free classes you can. Then, you can preserve your benefits to finish the degree in the best school you can get into. I got my first degree on active duty.
